Jesus would have been a communist

Well, he is a jew.

Jews love the money you fool.

If God exists, he's probably a communist.  Whatever type of paradise he created would be communism in the purest sense.  Everyone being flawless, good, and perfect human beings, it would be impossible for their to be social classes.  With extreme compassion and generosity replacing any form of greed, it's pretty impossible to have actual wealth.

So basically like those Watchtower magazines Jehovah's Witnesses might give you, where it's a bunch of happy fucks of all races chilling out with lions and kangaroo and eating delicious fruit.  And the grass is green and there's probably a river or a waterfall in the background.

Oh like this: http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/2825/07ed3.jpg

It actually looks appealing for a second, like, damn, I want to hang out with lions and eat delicious fruit.  But then you imagine doing it for eternity and realize it'd probably be very boring.

I have like 10 of those magazines.
It was in some of those mags that I read about Maitreya.

Maitreya???

Also, whose going to be producing the kangaroos and delicious fruit to eat?  Communism also only works with like 10 people max.  The appealing sentiment that most privileged white kids have towards communism is that it reminds them of happy family Thanksgivings.   They forget that theres a fuck ton of work that goes into preparing it.

Out before flame war!

Communism works with inf. people, on paper.  When you add in actual human desires and vices it completely fails.  And since humans will be humans...  It only works with 10 people max in the REAL world, but in God's perfect happy paradise where humans are incapable of sin and always high on life for eternity, theoretically it works.

Also, presumably kangaroos will produce themselves.  As for fruit, I guess that would be humans working happily to nourish each other.  I wonder if God would be adverse to the use of pesticides.

So heaven is nothing but a World State, where citizens are dosed up to their wings on happy pills for eternity?

bingo. bingo. bingo!

Didn't God create pesticides? Both the chemical ingredients and the natural types(white oil)? I don't think you give the big cheese enough credit.

Oh and I'm talking God here. Not religion...

Well, that's the only conclusion I can come to.

Communism works as soon as people stop being greedy, lazy, envious, arrogant, etc.  Basically the seven capital vices, minus lust I guess.

I was actually unaware that there were (effective) natural pesticides :(

Capitalism and Communism both look good on paper, but neither work in real world.
Actually, in my opinion, Communism could work, because of historical materialism, which could be taught out. And a school system for all is one of the 10 planks of communism.
I hate it when people say communism doesn't work, because nothing works in the real world the right way, because of the added variables.

If communism doesn't work in the real world, then it doesn't work, except as an intellectual toy.

Same can be said for anarchism and libertarianism. /snerk

The free market and libertarianism does achieve something. It is just that marxist concepts such as capitalism achieve less as they are not correlated with reality. Did you know that Marx never once took a course in mathematics of any kind beyond simple arithmetic or economics? He wasn't a socio-economist he was a sociologist and not a very good one either it seems.

Jesus was all about building a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.  Would he have taken human failings into account, or was he a Trotskyist?  Interesting thought.
